In relation to fantasy football.....1987 ....week two (just prior to the strike that year) I watched a game between the 49ers and the Bengals.....
I was down by a ton....and the Bengals had the ball with time running out......
49ers managed to force a fourth down with under ten seconds to play at about their own 45 yard line
for some unGodly unknown reason ....Wyche, instead of punting, decides to ask Boomer and company to dance around in the backfield to run out the remaining seconds ....
BIG MISTAKE.... Esiason is eventually tackled with 3 seconds remaining ...and automatically turns the ball over on that spot
Next play ?
Montana promptly hits Rice in the endzone on the last play of the game .....to give the 49ers an unreal two point victory.
I had both Rice and Montana that year ....and that one play gave my fantasy team a one point victory ....
Needless to say .....the surrounding neighbors (perhaps a mile in diameter) deemed me crazy for yelling so loud in utter rapturous delight. I will never forget THAT game.
